. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Visitors from Austria Mr. and Mrs. A. Schroeder, of Trieste, Austria, visited us October 23. They arrived in this country Oct. i6th, and expected to remain only a very short time. Mr. Schrceder now has 32 colo- nies of bees, while sometimes he has 50 colonies. He has been a subscriber to the -American Bee Journal for over 30 years. He was unfortunate in not coming to this country in time to at- tend the National convention in Detroit. Mr. S. speaks 5 languages, and both are verj- pleasant to meet. That is contrary to common belief in this country; for certainly many count combs entirely safe that have been left out to endure the freezing of winter. It would be interesting if we could learn how far south this holds good. Among the means for prevention given in the article mentioned, it is rather strange that the two most im- portant means—at least considered the most important in this country—namely, strong colonies and Italian blood, are not mentioned. The Detroit Convention Photograph The secretary of the Xational Bee- Keepers' .\ssociation, Air. W. Z. Hutch- inson of Flint, Mich., went to consid- erable expense to get an expert pho- tographer to take a picture of those at- tending the National convention at De- troit, Oct. 13, 14, and 15. The picture is 20x24 inches in size, and will be sent by prepaid express for $ It is a most beautifully finished photograph, every face being very clear and dis- tinct. .?\s Mr. Hutchinson says in his advertisement on another page of this number, it would be a fine picture to frame and hang up in any bee-keeper's home. It is the best picture ever taken of any National bee-keepers' convention in this country. We hope that Mr. wil receive a large num- ber of orders for it. Bee-Moths and Their Endurance In an article in Praktischer Weg- weiser, it is said that the eggs, larvae, and pupx of the bee-moth are so tena- cious of life that they will endure the cold of winter
